The challenges

Hard to find,and easy to pass by.

The clinic had a profile, but it was not doing the work of turning local searches into patient calls and visits.

    Limited visibility on Search and Maps

    Inconsistent updates and little optimization kept the clinic out of view for potential patients.

  2. 02

    Unstructured GBP strategy

    There was no content plan or CTA-driven posting to attract high-intent local traffic.

  3. 03

    Missed lead opportunities

    Calls and direction requests were underperforming, holding back patient acquisition.
